jsformat v0.1.30

#jsformat CLI

###Summary

A node CLI to do bulk formatting of JavaScript files. Original purpose is to give a location, dir or path, for script files and then give a list of things to sort by.

###How to install it

npm install git://github.com/bstaley/jsformat.git ######--or-- npm install jsformat

###How to run 1. change directory to a location you would like the generated file to be stored 2. type jsformat with either a -dir <directory> or a -path <file> switch. 3. the interface will ask you what to sort by. 4. use one sort criteria per line, ex. to sort all variables to the top use 'var'. 5. submitting a blank line will start the processing. #####note: when using directory it will recursively search through all folders.

###Acceptable commands

• -dir <directory>
• -path <path>
• -sortdef <json formatted array of sort criteria>

###Known Issues 1. Nothing has been implimented to support anything other than JavaScript. 2. Your JavaScript file has must be formatted in a traditional way before hand. 3. Nested blocks are may not protected. ^example:

var aaa = 'aaa';
function xyz(){
  var bbb = 'bbb';
}

now if you apply a sort on the script above with only var you might pull out the var the in the function. More testing is needed to confirm. WORKAROUND: sort by var first and then by function.

###ToDos 1. For dir transformations look for file type, if specified. 2. Accept an output directory for transformed files. 3. Have the option to overwrite files in place.

###Real life example output ######This is an example used with jQuery to maintain a specific format across all files.
